Ceist:

626 Deputy Patrick O’Donovan asked the Minister for Health his views on whether the absence of screening for hearing problems in infants at maternity hospitals has left certain children with hearing issues now at a developmental disadvantage due to late detection; if these children whose hearing issues were not detected early will now be entitled to additional learning support; and if provisions are being made for these children now in the form of developmental aids such as resource teachers.
